Daegu, a man in his 40s wearing an electronic anklet stole other people's money and ran away.



During the escape, the electronic anklet was also cut off, as reported by TBC reporter Han Hyun-ho.



<Reporter> This



is a song bar in Daehyeon-dong, Daegu.



At around 11:15 p.m. on the 7th, a man threatened the store owner with a knife and ran away with cash and cell phone.



The man who robbed with a weapon was a 40-year-old man A, who was released after serving a sentence for a sex-related violent crime.



He was placed on probation and committed the crime while wearing an electronic anklet.



Immediately after the crime, Mr. A took a taxi for about 20 minutes and fled to Taejeon-dong, Daegu.



The man moved to this place about 10km away from the crime scene, boiled an electronic anklet and hid, but the police are looking for him.



A, an air conditioner repairman, appears to have cut the electronic anklet using a company tool.



[The Ministry of Justice Daegu Probation Office official: There is a company in Taejeon-dong, and I know that (electronic anklet) was found in front of it.

It's probably a cutter, but I don't know for sure.

So far.]



The Daegu Probation Center of the Ministry of Justice revealed his face to prevent further crimes of Mr. A and asked for witnesses to report it.



In the past five years, the number of repeated offenses of sexual assault by those wearing electronic anklets was 291, excluding Seoul and Gyeonggi Province, with Daegu and Gyeongbuk having the highest number of 29 each.



It is pointed out that the crime of damaging electronic anklets is also continuing, so probation for those who attach electronic anklets should be strengthened more than now.
